2. Security Settings
To protect your account and assets, we highly recommend that you configure your security settings before you make a trade. Click Account Security from the drop-down menu after logging in.
You will see the security settings shown below. You may not be able to configure all of them at once, but Google Verification, Trading Password, and Safety Phrase are particularly important.
2.1. Bind Google Verification or your Phone Number
Use your phone or Google Verification to verify your identity when logging in or making a transaction. You can choose the one you prefer, or configure both for added security.
(1). If your country is on the Supported Phone Number Country List, click Set on the Security Settings page to bind your mobile phone.
(2). If your country is not on the list, you must bind Google Authenticator for your account's safety.
▶For detailed guidance, refer to How to Bind Google 2FA Verification article.
2.2. Set a Trading Password
Your KuCoin trading password is a 6-digit number that is used for verification in trading, withdrawal, API creation, and other actions to add another layer of security to your account. Find Trading Password on the Security Settings page, then click Set to configure a password.
▶For detailed guidance, refer to the How to Set a Trading Password article.
2.3. Set an Anti-Phishing Safety Phrase
A Safety Phrase can help you identify if you are using the official KuCoin site instead of a phishing site. KuCoin supports email safety phrases, login safety phrases, and withdrawal safety phrases. These phrases will be displayed on the official KuCoin site when you proceed with the corresponding operation.
Go to the Security Settings page, then click the Set button beside each safety phrase to create one.
